Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 365 The Bride of the Sea God (24)

"Thump"

The fire extinguisher slammed heavily onto Asaya's shoulder and back. Even as a tough-skinned A-level mermaid, he was momentarily stunned by the impact.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yan Zhen shoved him aside, ignoring the sharp pain in his shoulder, and pulled Nolan behind him to protect him.

She performed these actions without hesitation, and the scene froze for a moment.

At this moment, Si Lan's helpless voice came: "Xia Xia, your wound is bleeding again."

Because of her words, Nolan and Asya's gazes both fell on Yan Zhen's shoulder.

The Rottweiler left four deep dents on Yan Zhen's shoulder; the wound, which had just been treated half an hour earlier, had reopened.

The blood seeped through the patient's medical gown, soaking through.

Nolan frowned deeply, his eyes filled with undisguised heartache: "Xiaxia..."

"I'm fine," Yan Zhen said, trying to comfort Nolan, but his eyes remained fixed on Asya to prevent him from attacking Nolan again.

Asaya fell to the ground, looking up at Yan Zhen's fiercely protective actions, and then at Si Lan, who had stood by and watched from the beginning, never intending to intervene whether she was hitting or being hit.

For a moment, he seemed to understand why Nolan wanted to keep Si Xia.

The human he loved protected him like his own heart and soul.

The farce ended with Si Lan calling her bodyguards, who forcibly took Asaya away.

The doctor re-treated Yan Zhen's wounds, and Si Lan forced her to be hospitalized, while Nolan was taken away by the research institute to undergo a pet obedience test.

The pet obedience test takes about a week. When Nolan was taken away, Yan Zhen comforted him: "Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you. They'll just give you a few small tests. Once you pass, I'll come and pick you up."

Nolan nodded slightly. He knew that what had happened today had caused trouble for Yan Zhen. If she didn't cooperate with the test, he might not be able to stay by her side any longer.

Yan Zhen patted his head and then instructed the staff at the research institute: "He is timid, so please be gentle when you do the tests and don't startle him. Also, he is a bit picky about food; he only eats salmon, shellfish, and Arctic shrimp as his staple food."

Remove the bones from the salmon, and make sure the clams are thoroughly cleaned. Don't feed him too many sweet shrimp at once; two pounds is enough. Give him fifteen sea urchins every night. You need to open the sea urchins and remove the meat from them. When opening the sea urchins, make sure the sharp points of the scissors aren't pointing directly at him. I accidentally cut his hand before, and he's afraid of sharp scissors..."

Research institute staff: "..."

Is it that they don't know how to feed mermaids, or that this young lady doesn't know how to feed mermaids?

Mermaids have a bite force comparable to that of sharks, teeth sharp enough to chew sea turtles like candy, and webbed claws capable of tearing apart giant octopuses.

What kind of mutant species is this mermaid who has to remove the bones from salmon, open the shells of sea urchins, and be fed sweet shrimp?

"I'll have someone deliver his food to the research institute. The time you spend taking care of him these past few days will be considered overtime work during holidays, and you'll receive five times the normal pay," Yan Zhen said. "Thank you for your help."

Upon hearing this, the researcher, whose expression had been subtle, immediately agreed readily.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. This is part of our job."

Mermaids are beautiful, so it's normal for them to be a little delicate.

Who can blame them when their owner is willing to spoil and pamper them?

After Nolan was taken away, Si Lan was speechless: "Is this how you usually keep this fish?"

Yan Zhen no longer avoided the question: "Yes."

“I suggest you stay childless in the future,” Si Lan said. “Otherwise, with your mentality, you’ll raise a complete waste of your life.”

Yan Zhen didn't mind and smiled, "Children are different from pets."

"Why is it different?"

“Children are children, pets… I have no demands on Nolan,” Yan Zhen said. “He doesn’t need to go to work or school, he doesn’t need to learn any skills to make a living or social skills. He just needs to eat well, sleep well, play well, and live happily. So why be so harsh on them? Besides, Nolan’s lifespan after coming ashore is only two years.”

Si Lan was stunned.

That's right, that fish only has a two-year lifespan.

Fine, if my sister wants to keep it, then let her keep it.

Even if this short-lived creature causes a huge mess within two years, she can still cover for her sister.

Si Lan used this reason to convince herself.

She told Yan Zhen to get some rest and then left.

-

Yan Zhen stayed in the hospital for a week.

Upon receiving a call from the research institute informing her that Nolan's compliance test was complete, she immediately completed the discharge procedures and, accompanied by her bodyguard, went to the institute to pick up Nolan.

When Yan Zhen arrived at the research institute, Nolan wasn't locked in a fish tank like the other mermaids. Instead, she had sprouted legs, dressed herself, and was sitting in the researcher's office chair, chewing on a lollipop.

Seeing his condition, Yan Zhen knew that his words of advice and promise of a raise that day had worked, and Nolan hadn't suffered much at the research institute.

Nolan was overjoyed to see Yan Zhen after not seeing her for a week. As soon as she appeared, he ran to her, his bright eyes like a puppy that had been boarded at a pet store for a long time seeing its owner: "Xiaxia!"

Yan Zhen looked him up and down, patted his head, and then rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs to check his limbs. When she saw a needle mark on his arm where blood had been drawn, she paused slightly.

The institute had spent a lot of money to import a batch of high-precision equipment a few months ago, and she was somewhat worried that the researchers would discover something about Nolan.

Seeing her expression change slightly, the researcher assumed she was bothered by the needle mark and quickly explained, "Miss, we drew three vials of blood from Nolan according to the testing procedure, which will not cause any harm to his body."

Yan Zhen snapped out of his reverie and smiled, "How were the test results?"

"He was very docile and obedient, and did not show any aggression. He passed all the tests."

Yan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion: "Thank you for your hard work. Tonight, Professor Chen will take you out for a big meal. You can choose any restaurant you like, and the bill will be on my tab."

The researcher's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, young lady!"

As he led Nolan away from the research institute, he held onto Yan Zhen's sleeve the entire time, asking, "Are you alright?"

Yan Zhen: "Hmm?"

Nolan pointed to the wound on her shoulder.

"Much better, it doesn't hurt much anymore," Yan Zhen said, trying to sound relaxed. "The doctor said that with proper rest for two months, I should be able to recover."

"Two months?" Nolan seemed taken aback for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Are you humans really that weak at healing?"

Yan Zhen didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"nothing."

Once outside the research institute, Nolan's tense mood relaxed. He quickly walked past Yan Zhen and got into the driver's seat of the sidecar parked outside: "I'll drive today."

Yan Zhen didn't refuse his kindness and got into the sidecar: "Let's go, home!"

Back at the villa on Changming Road, Nolan started taking off his clothes as soon as he entered.

But as he kicked off his shoes, took off his shirt, and lifted the waistband of his pants to pull them down, Asaya's words, "You smell like you're about to go into heat," flashed through his mind, and he paused.
